Engaging screenplay.Yet another solid performance from Anushka.

December 2014

One point for Teluguness in the movie. One point for Music.One point for Villain’s character. Minus one point for not able to handle other characters.

Nice timepass if you have nothing to do . Interesting comedy of world war era.

Fresh love story with some good twists . Colourful taking makes it a pleasant watch.

Good thriller . Liam Neemson.

proud that this is a telugu movie. There cant be better tribute to ANR.

Good entertainer. Manchu family pulled out some decent stuff 🙂

Yevadu (Telugu) -3/5
Some timepass. Good twists.

One – Nenokkadine (Telugu) – 4.5/5
An excellent effort, Thanks to Mahesh Babu and 14 reels. Kriti Sanon is perfect for Mahesh . One of the best interval episodes.

OM3D (Telugu) – 2.5/5
You dont need 3d for such a normal story . But it was a good execution. Ok watch.

Sahasam (Telugu) – 4/5
Sahasam is one movie which is executed brilliantly but in the end feel like there are no desserts in the feast meal.Tickles the treasure hunting fantasy.Spl kudos to art director .

Balupu (Telugu) – 3.5/5
RaviTeja is back with a bang.Super Interval situation.Comedy is good.

Sonakshi was good . Movie starts with an interesting premise and is good till Interval.Starts as an art film and ends as a art film.Only for Critics.

Premakatha Chitram(Telugu) – 3.5/5
Humurous horror film . Never has someone used a ghost to generate so many laughs.

Iddarammayilatho (Telugu) – 2.5/5
Good fights and song picturisations. A story of such nature doesnt require such extravagant budget . Climax is poorly executed.
“Thankyou for watching this movie ” by Poori Jagannadh is completely justfied at the end credits. Atleast audience should expect thanks for bearing his work for 2.5 hours

Jurassic Park 3D -3/5
Loved watching this movie again in 3D format.

Life of Pi – 4.5/5
One movie i regret for not watching it in 3D.Must watch .

More romance in this edition. Watch in 3d for good experience. Andrew Garfield is better than Tobby mcguire.

Teri Meri Kahaani (hindi) – 2.5/5

Watch this movie if you have nothing to do . Good acting by Shahid kapoor in all 3 variations. Loved the 1960 part and 1910 part.

Endukante Premanta (Telugu) – 2/5

Another telugu movie undermining the intelligence of audience. Should have atleast tried to make it a perfect artistic movie rather than commercial one. Tamannah should get some brownie points for trying different stories.

Oka romantic crime katha (telugu) – 1/5

Very bad concept. Wrong marketing. Directors should stop making such cheap movies.1 point for some good performances here and there.

Shanghai (2012)- 3.5/5

Good performances from all.

Daruvu (Telugu ) – 2.5/5

Just timepass.

Adhinayakudu (Telugu) – 2.5/5

How can you say a pakka telugu guy is born in England and an international conference runs in telugu. Otherwise, movie is ok. The three balakrishnas have catered to different tastes.The youngest ones for Comedy, middle age for Balakrishna fans and oldest one for NTR fans.

Rowdy Rathore (Hindi) 2/5.

Utter ridiculous remake of Telugu movie Vikramarkudu. Worse than expected but better than Chandni chowk to China.1 point for Sonakshi Sinha.

Gabbar singh( Telugu) – 4/5

Treat for pawan kalyan fans. Lot better than Dabangg.

7th sense (Telugu) -3/5

Excellent concept. Couldnt materialise in a perfect script.

Vicky Donor (Hindi) – 4/5

Very good one.

Sherlock Holmes 2 – 3.5/5

Robert Downey Jr is the new age sherlock holmes.Such a perfect casting.good one for sherlock fans.
